How long should it take?

To eat 2scrambler eggs when on puréed? I'm 3 weeks post op

I am also 3 weeks post op. I had 1 scrambled egg w/ some salsa for dinner recently and it took me about 20 minutes to eat. I couldn't quite get throuh the whole thing. My NUT suggests making each meal last about 20 minutes to ensure you are going slow enough but not to stretch it out past 30 because then you can start taking in too much at one sitting.

Humanmerelybeing,

My NUT won't let me have salsa yet, no acidic food until after mechanical soft phase, are you eating Sosa & have you had any trouble with it?

Salsa

Eat for no more than 30 minutes. At the end of 30 minutes--you are done. The amount you can eat varies from person to person and day to day, but giving yourself no more than 30 minutes prevents grazing. I am 10 weeks out and can never eat more than 1 egg at a time.

im more than 3 months out and i still only eat one egg with a little shredded cheese on top. i can eat more of certain things, depending on how dense the food is. i usually dont go past the 20 to 25 minute mark when eating.

Zoumommy - I wasn't warned away from salsa and didn't have any trouble with about 1 TBLS with the egg. You are right though, it is an acidic food, so maybe there is reason to wait a bit longer.

Start with one egg and you will find you do not want another. My big husband and I both eat either 1 boiled egg or 1 scrambled. We are 3 months post op and have both regularly eaten spicy food including salsa and have no problem whatsoever. We started slowly with the spicy. We also take Prilosec daily.

Humanmerelybeing,

Yep, spoke to my NUT today to find out how much of an egg is ok to eat, she said 1/2cup cooked, not sure if this is a whole egg or not. Anyway, her and my surgeon's recommendation for their patients is no acidic foods until the soft food phase, which comes after mechanical soft. My surgeon is very anal/OCD and very conservative in her approach with patients, so that is probably why no salsa for me but it sounds really yummy
